In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Turkmenistan.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. Turkmenistan is an ancient land, once part of the Persian Empire. The Turkmen people were originally pastoral nomads and some of them continued this way of life up into the 20th century, living in transportable dome-shaped felt tents called yurtas. The country several has ancient ruins that used to part of the Silk Road, such as Saraghs, Annau or Merv.
2. Written Turkmen has gone through a vast number of different alphabets. Prior to 1929, Turkmen was written in the Arabic script. Between 1929 and 1938, a Latin alphabet was used. Then, from 1938 through 1991, the Cyrillic alphabet became the official writing system. In 1991, a new Latinate alphabet was introduced, but it has been slow to catch on.
3. Since 1993, water, electricity and gas have been free to all residents in Turkmenistan, meaning the majority of families never turn their stove off to save on the cost of matches! This was guaranteed to last until 2030.
4. Roughly 80% of Turkmenistan is covered by the Karakum (Black Sands) Desert. Turkmenistan has four distinct seasons & it faces two extremely opposite atmospheric conditions, in summer its temperature might go beyond 50 degree Celsius, while in winter it might get less than zero resulting into snowfall.
5. Turkmenistan is world widely famous for its ethnic style of carpets & there is even a carpet museum with more than 1,000 different carpets from 18th & 19th century & more from 20th century. A group of people made a 313 square meter carpet for the Turkmen carpet museum which is recognized as the largest hand-woven carpet in the world in Guinness book of world records.
6. There is more than 70 feet wide burning natural gas crater in Turkmenistan widely known as Derweze which contains bubbling gas active since more than 40 years. This huge gas crater was accidentally found by the drillers from Soviet Union state government of Turkmenistan who burnt the fire in the crater in hope of clearing the gas out of it however, it didn’t work and the gas is continuously burning since then.
7. Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, was founded in 1881 as a Russian fortress between the Kara-Kum Desert and the Kopet DaghMountains, it was largely rebuilt after a severe earthquake (7.3) in 1948. The earthquake caused extreme damage in Ashgabat and nearby villages, where almost all brick buildings collapsed, concrete structures were heavily damaged. Media sources vary on the number of the casualties, from 10,000 to 110,000, equivalent to almost 10% of the Turkmen SSR's population at the time.

MeetGurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, the president of Turkmenistan who just released a video on state TV showing off his supposed combat skills.
Since his election in 2006, Preisdent Berdymukhammedov, who was previously a dentist, has created a cult of personality by presenting himself as a God-like emperor of his country.
He is widely considered to be a narcissistic dictator of one of the world’s most isolated countries.
And since Turkmenistan does not have any free media, he controls his own image. This version of him is what he wants you to see.

Central Asia

Central Asia is the core region of the Asiancontinent and stretches from the Caspian Sea in the west to China in the east and from Afghanistan in the south to Russia in the north. It is also sometimes referred to as Middle Asia, and, colloquially, "the 'stans" (as the six countries generally considered to be within the region all have names ending with the Persian suffix "-stan", meaning "land of") and is within the scope of the wider Eurasian continent.

Various definitions of Central Asia's exact composition exist, and not one definition is universally accepted. Despite this uncertainty in defining borders, the region does have some important overall characteristics. For one, Central Asia has historically been closely tied to its nomadic peoples and the Silk Road. As a result, it has acted as a crossroads for the movement of people, goods, and ideas between Europe, Western Asia, South Asia, and East Asia.

Stansted is a base for a number of major European low-cost carriers, being the largest base for low-cost airline Ryanair with over 100 destinations served by the airline. In 2014 it was the fourth busiest airport in the United Kingdom after Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester. Stansted's runway is also used by private companies such as the Harrods Aviation terminal which is opposite the main terminal building and handles private jets and some state visits.

The airport is owned and operated by the Manchester Airports Group (MAG), which also owns and operates three other UK airports. MAG agreed to buy the airport from Heathrow Airport Holdings, formerly BAA, on 18 January 2013, and the sale was completed for £1.5billion on 28 February 2013. BAA had been required to sell the airport following a ruling originally made by the Competition Commission in March 2009.

Al Jazeera

Al Jazeera (Arabic:الجزيرة‎al-ǧazīrahIPA:[æl dʒæˈziːrɐ], literally "The Peninsula", referring to the Arabian Peninsula), also known as JSC (Jazeera Satellite Channel), is a Doha-based state-funded broadcaster owned by the Al Jazeera Media Network, which is partly funded by the House of Thani, the ruling family of Qatar. Initially launched as an Arabic news and current affairs satellite TV channel, Al Jazeera has since expanded into a network with several outlets, including the Internet and specialtyTV channels in multiple languages.

Al Jazeera is among the largest news organizations with 80 bureaus around the world. Al Jazeera is owned by the government of Qatar. While Al Jazeera officials have stated that they are editorially independent from the government of Qatar, this assertion has been disputed.

The original Al Jazeera channel's willingness to broadcast dissenting views, for example on call-in shows, created controversies in the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. The station gained worldwide attention following the outbreak of war in Afghanistan, when it was the only channel to cover the war live, from its office there.

Ilyushin Il-76

The Ilyushin Il-76 (NATO reporting name: Candid) is a multi-purpose four-engine turbofanstrategic airlifter designed by the Ilyushin design bureau. It was first planned as a commercial freighter in 1967, as a replacement for the Antonov An-12. It was designed for delivering heavy machinery to remote, poorly served areas of the USSR. Military versions of the Il-76 have seen widespread use in Europe, Asia and Africa, including use as an airborne refueling tanker or as a command center.

The Il-76 has seen extensive service as a commercial freighter for ramp-delivered cargo, especially for outsized or heavy items unable to be otherwise carried. It has also been used as emergency response transport for civilian evacuations as well as for humanitarian/disaster relief aid around the world. Because of its ability to operate from unpaved runways, it has been useful in undeveloped areas. Specialized models have also been produced for aerial fire-fighting and zero-G training.

Turkmenistan fully prepared to host the AIMAG 2017

투르크메니스탄, 제 5차 실내무도아시안게임 개최 준비 완료
The 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial ArtsGames is set to take place in the Central Asian country of Turkmenistan in September.
Our Kim Hyesung reports on how the preparation work is going, and what holding the sports event means to its people.
The countdown to Ashgabat 2017 has begun, and Turkmenistan is ready.
Thirty multi-sport venues and a main Olympic stadium that can seat 45-thousand people are all connected by a monorail.
"More than 55-hundred athletes from 62 countries will compete at the fifth Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games this September. This is the first major global sports event ever to be hosted by Turkmenistan, whose buildings showcase both tradition and modernity."
The main stadium is in the shape of a horse, showing Turkmenistan’s love for its native breed and national treasure -- the Akhalteke, the mascot of the games symbolizing speed, power and unity.
This former Soviet republic, which achieved independence in 1991, has invested over 5 billion U.S. dollars in the facility.
It's 145-thousand square meters in size, and a testament to Turkmenistan's success, it represents the biggest sports complex in Central Asia and in the history of the games.
"It’s a very big boost for the nation itself, to deliver such a large scale event where we expect more than 300 thousand spectators as well as we are going to have large amount of workforce and volunteers, so overall I think it will be a positive emotion for lots of people."
A positive emotion that Turkmen youngsters can't seem to hide even during the test games held in the last week of April.
"We saw so many foreigners here, it’s really interesting and cool. We are glad we can also participate in the games."
"I’m so excited for the games. Go, go Turkmenistan "
Delivering a perfect experience will require not just world-class facilities but also friendly service.
They're training more than ten thousand volunteers, some of them in Korea, the most recent host of the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.
"In 2014, young Turkmen volunteers received training at the Incheon Asian Games in Korea. And there are Korean organizers helping with the planning and execution of Ashgabat 2017. Cooperation in the field of sports can boost people-to-people ties and mutual understanding. It's a great move for the two countries, which mark the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relationship this year."
Under the themes of health, friendship and inspiration, Ashgabat 2017 will host 21 events including Taekwondo, kickboxing, chess and equestrian jumping -- from September 17th to the 27th.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Turkmenistan.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. Turkmenistan is an ancient land, once part of the Persian Empire. The Turkmen people were originally pastoral nomads and some of them continued this way of life up into the 20th century, living in transportable dome-shaped felt tents called yurtas. The country several has ancient ruins that used to part of the Silk Road, such as Saraghs, Annau or Merv.
2. Written Turkmen has gone through a vast number of different alphabets. Prior to 1929, Turkmen was written in the Arabic script. Between 1929 and 1938, a Latin alphabet was used. Then, from 1938 through 1991, the Cyrillic alphabet became the official writing system. In 1991, a new Latinate alphabet was introduced, but it has been slow to catch on.
3. Since 1993, water, electricity and gas have been free to all residents in Turkmenistan, meaning the majority of families never turn their stove off to save on the cost of matches! This was guaranteed to last until 2030.
4. Roughly 80% of Turkmenistan is covered by the Karakum (Black Sands) Desert. Turkmenistan has four distinct seasons & it faces two extremely opposite atmospheric conditions, in summer its temperature might go beyond 50 degree Celsius, while in winter it might get less than zero resulting into snowfall.
5. Turkmenistan is world widely famous for its ethnic style of carpets & there is even a carpet museum with more than 1,000 different carpets from 18th & 19th century & more from 20th century. A group of people made a 313 square meter carpet for the Turkmen carpet museum which is recognized as the largest hand-woven carpet in the world in Guinness book of world records.
6. There is more than 70 feet wide burning natural gas crater in Turkmenistan widely known as Derweze which contains bubbling gas active since more than 40 years. This huge gas crater was accidentally found by the drillers from Soviet Union state government of Turkmenistan who burnt the fire in the crater in hope of clearing the gas out of it however, it didn’t work and the gas is continuously burning since then.
7. Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, was founded in 1881 as a Russian fortress between the Kara-Kum Desert and the Kopet DaghMountains, it was largely rebuilt after a severe earthquake (7.3) in 1948. The earthquake caused extreme damage in Ashgabat and nearby villages, where almost all brick buildings collapsed, concrete structures were heavily damaged. Media sources vary on the number of the casualties, from 10,000 to 110,000, equivalent to almost 10% of the Turkmen SSR's population at the time.

President for Life (2005): PresidentSaparmurat Niyazov of Turkmenistan was the dictator famous in the West for his crazy decrees and bizarre personality cult. But for his people, there was nothing comical about his rule. Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures
In Ashgabat, capital of Turkemenistan, the sun always shine on Turkmenbashi. Literally. His statues rotate to face the sun. His image is everywhere -- from the vodka bottles to the national airline. He's even renamed the days of the week after his dead mother. "He's clearly a paranoid leader with very strange sorts of behavioural patterns," states political analyst David Lewis. "He is brutal and violent."
Former foreign minister Avdy Kuliev agrees. "He's imprisoned many prominent people -- all of them subjected to tortures, horrendous tortures." Turkmenistan has one of the lowest life expectancy rates in region. Most of the people live in crushing poverty but an atmosphere of fear and intimidation prevents anyone speaking out.

MeetGurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, the president of Turkmenistan who just released a video on state TV showing off his supposed combat skills.
Since his election in 2006, Preisdent Berdymukhammedov, who was previously a dentist, has created a cult of personality by presenting himself as a God-like emperor of his country.
He is widely considered to be a narcissistic dictator of one of the world’s most isolated countries.
And since Turkmenistan does not have any free media, he controls his own image. This version of him is what he wants you to see.

투르크메니스탄, 제 5차 실내무도아시안게임 개최 준비 완료
The 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial ArtsGames is set to take place in the Central Asian country of Turkmenistan in September.
Our Kim Hyesung reports on how the preparation work is going, and what holding the sports event means to its people.
The countdown to Ashgabat 2017 has begun, and Turkmenistan is ready.
Thirty multi-sport venues and a main Olympic stadium that can seat 45-thousand people are all connected by a monorail.
"More than 55-hundred athletes from 62 countries will compete at the fifth Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games this September. This is the first major global sports event ever to be hosted by Turkmenistan, whose buildings showcase both tradition and modernity."
The main stadium is in the shape of a horse, showing Turkmenistan’s love for its native breed and national treasure -- the Akhalteke, the mascot of the games symbolizing speed, power and unity.
This former Soviet republic, which achieved independence in 1991, has invested over 5 billion U.S. dollars in the facility.
It's 145-thousand square meters in size, and a testament to Turkmenistan's success, it represents the biggest sports complex in Central Asia and in the history of the games.
"It’s a very big boost for the nation itself, to deliver such a large scale event where we expect more than 300 thousand spectators as well as we are going to have large amount of workforce and volunteers, so overall I think it will be a positive emotion for lots of people."
A positive emotion that Turkmen youngsters can't seem to hide even during the test games held in the last week of April.
"We saw so many foreigners here, it’s really interesting and cool. We are glad we can also participate in the games."
"I’m so excited for the games. Go, go Turkmenistan "
Delivering a perfect experience will require not just world-class facilities but also friendly service.
They're training more than ten thousand volunteers, some of them in Korea, the most recent host of the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.
"In 2014, young Turkmen volunteers received training at the Incheon Asian Games in Korea. And there are Korean organizers helping with the planning and execution of Ashgabat 2017. Cooperation in the field of sports can boost people-to-people ties and mutual understanding. It's a great move for the two countries, which mark the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relationship this year."
Under the themes of health, friendship and inspiration, Ashgabat 2017 will host 21 events including Taekwondo, kickboxing, chess and equestrian jumping -- from September 17th to the 27th.

Turkmenistan fully prepared to host the AIMAG 2017

투르크메니스탄, 제 5차 실내무도아시안게임 개최 준비 완료
The 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial ArtsGames is set to take place in the Central Asian country of Turkmenistan in September.
Our Kim Hyesung reports on how the preparation work is going, and what holding the sports event means to its people.
The countdown to Ashgabat 2017 has begun, and Turkmenistan is ready.
Thirty multi-sport venues and a main Olympic stadium that can seat 45-thousand people are all connected by a monorail.
"More than 55-hundred athletes from 62 countries will compete at the fifth Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games this September. This is the first major global sports event ever to be hosted by Turkmenistan, whose buildings showcase both tradition and modernity."
The main stadium is in the shape of a horse, showing Turkmenistan’s love for its native breed and national treasure -- the Akhalteke, the mascot of the games symbolizing speed, power and unity.
This former Soviet republic, which achieved independence in 1991, has invested over 5 billion U.S. dollars in the facility.
It's 145-thousand square meters in size, and a testament to Turkmenistan's success, it represents the biggest sports complex in Central Asia and in the history of the games.
"It’s a very big boost for the nation itself, to deliver such a large scale event where we expect more than 300 thousand spectators as well as we are going to have large amount of workforce and volunteers, so overall I think it will be a positive emotion for lots of people."
A positive emotion that Turkmen youngsters can't seem to hide even during the test games held in the last week of April.
"We saw so many foreigners here, it’s really interesting and cool. We are glad we can also participate in the games."
"I’m so excited for the games. Go, go Turkmenistan "
Delivering a perfect experience will require not just world-class facilities but also friendly service.
They're training more than ten thousand volunteers, some of them in Korea, the most recent host of the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.
"In 2014, young Turkmen volunteers received training at the Incheon Asian Games in Korea. And there are Korean organizers helping with the planning and execution of Ashgabat 2017. Cooperation in the field of sports can boost people-to-people ties and mutual understanding. It's a great move for the two countries, which mark the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relationship this year."
Under the themes of health, friendship and inspiration, Ashgabat 2017 will host 21 events including Taekwondo, kickboxing, chess and equestrian jumping -- from September 17th to the 27th.

Telling About Turkmenistan

I was so happy when students showed interest during my presentations that it inspired me to do even more. I taught them about traditional Turkmen traditions, including our national dance. They also learned how to say a few phrases in my language. It’s a great pleasure to be an ambassador!

By far the most mysterious and unexplored of Central Asia’s 'stans, Turkmenistan became famous. We’ll see all the highlights and local colour of Ashgabat and journey deep into the desert for swimming underground as well as camping next to the amazing and unique DarvazaGasCrater. We’ll see the ancient Nisa fortress, capital of the Parthian Empire, and we’ll also experience Yangykala the ‘Turkmen Grand Canyon’, a breathtaking area of amazing natural beauty which we will explore by road and on foot. Something almost unknown but with scenery to rival anywhere else on Earth. We’ll even make time on this tour to swing by the Caspian Sea mega-project Awaza Touristic Resort – the most unusual holiday resort you will ever go to!
